Abstract

The invention discloses a method used in the I / O of iSCSI target device block equipment. The method comprises the steps that page high speed cache is used and a Radix-Tree-based searching algorithm is adopted between interfaces of the iSCSI target device and the storage equipment. The method aims at enhancing the I / O performance of a storage system, exchanging time by using space, as well as using high-efficient searching algorithm to enhance executing efficiency. The invention adopts the method for improving a software system, basically has nothing to do with the characteristics of hardware equipment and has good universal external interfaces.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computer storage. Between an iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface, Internet Small Computer System Interface) target device and a storage device, a page cache and a search algorithm based on Radix-Tree (base tree) are used to improve system readability. , Write performance. Background technique [0002] iSCSI can implement the SCSI (Small Computer System Interface, small computer system interface) protocol running on the IP (Internet Protocol, Internet Protocol) network, so that it can perform routing on such as high-speed Gigabit Ethernet. SCSI is a widely used technical standard for connecting hard drives and computers, while iSCSI applies this technology to network environments. iSCSI is a technical standard based on IP protocol, which realizes the connection between SCSI and TCP / IP (Transfer Control Protocol / Internet Protocol, Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) protocol, which...
